(ALPHA) Whisker Magazine

DISCLAIMER: This is a work in process and is not a fully polished product. With that in mind I encourage constructive criticism so that I can further improve the design.

Yet another talon compatible short dart mag for foam blasters. This serves as more of a CAD practice rather than adding all that much meaningful changes to the hobby.  

The Whisker Magazine is inspired by several talon mag designs out there including the Original Worker Talon, the Koda, the Thanhlon, the sure.t, etc.

The mag includes features such as:
- Dual Mag catch (Talon standard and NERF specific)
- Redundant drum spring notch
- Dart Windows to see the amount of darts left in opaque prints

Currently there is only an 8 dart magazine designed and tested. There will also be plans for higher capacity ~16 and ~20 dart versions. (Capacity is based upon how many darts can fit in a mag, do not load a full magazine into a blaster with the pusher forward as this can cause your darts to squish greatly)

Assembly only requires the three printed parts and a drum spring, which is inserted through the top of the mag and fed through the slots on either side. "Compress" the drum spring until it can be slotted into the follower and lead back through the bottom of the magazine, carefully so that it doesn't shoot up through the top. The bottom bumper is to be friction fit until further notice. 

Parts should be printed in PETG, however have only been tested in PLA. 

Future development of this magazine may be slow or non existent. Depends on how I feel about the project. 

CHANGE LOG:

05/07/26 - Updated the follower to be shorter (v0.03)

11/07/26 - Updated the follower to catch the top of the mag to avoid it getting lodged by the pusher when empty. Additionally carved out unnecessary volume (v0.05)
